Connecting to The VPN With A MAC

To connect to Access Server from a MacOSX client computer, you need to follow these steps:

Double-click the Tunnelblick icon (it may be labelled “Tunnelblick.app”) and you will be guided through the installation of the program.

Once you have installed Tunnelblick, you can download and install the configuration file. After logging in to the Access Server’s Client Web Server, download the client.ovpn file and double-

click it. This will launch Tunnelblick if necessary, and Tunnelblick will install and secure the configuration.

Run Tunnelblick by double-clicking its icon in the Applications folder. If left running when you logout or shut down your computer, Tunnelblick will be launched automatically when you next log in or start your computer.

The first time Tunnelblick is run on a given Mac, it will ask the user for the an system administrator’s username and password. This is necessary because Tunnelblick must have root privileges to run, as it modifies network settings as part of connecting to the VPN.

For iOS and Android devices:
First, you will need to get your OpenVPN profile file (filename.ovpn) onto your mobile device. Most people find that emailing the file to themselves is the easiest way to get the file to your device.

There are several openvpn clients in both app stores. Simply install one of them and import your profile *.ovpn file into the app and your mobile devices will also be going through the vpn.
